Dwelling District (2F) in the Willowcrest #1 Addition, Block B, Lot 6, located at 2560-

Mack states the City of Paris has initiated a rezoning change from SF -2 to 2F in tandem
with the Judy Daughtrey 2F rezoning. Following this application, it was identified that an
adjoining lot already has a duplex constructed on the property and this change will
eliminate the residences as a non -conforming dwelling by making it conforming. It will
also provide for an expanded & contiguous 2F District Boundary. The property is
conforming in size with regard to dimensions and existing setbacks. Staff recommends
approval of the rezoning from SF -2 to 2F.

8. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition Benny Brown for a change in

with a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for a single-family residence in the City of Paris, Block
311, Lot front PT 16, located at 3660 Clarksville Street- LCAD 18693.
Mack states that Benny Brown, current owner, and Richard Deverell, current occupant and
new buyer, requested an SUP with the discontinuance of an existing pet grooming business
and to continue occupying the single-family residence for only residential purposes. The
property is in an NS District on property located at 3660 Clarksville. The 512 s.f. detached
business structure was originally constructed in 2005 by Pam Russell for a pet grooming
operation and she also lived in the residence at that time. This year in 2021 the City
approved amendments to the permitted land uses for the NS District which now require an
SUP for a single family residence. The residents are also unable to receive residential water
service and home garbage pick-up as result of the former business status of the property.
Therefore, the SUP is required to address these concerns. No other changes to the structures
are planned. Staff recommends approval of the SUP, subject to the following conditions:
The SUP shall expire and terminate with a change in occupancy converting the
residence accessory structure back to a business use, unless approved by
amendment to the SUP.
The public hearing was declared open.

changed from commercial to residential as they will not have any business use at this
